Pro-Stitcher Optional ART & STITCH® Software

MK Quilts recommends the optional Art & Stitch software.

Have you ever wanted a quick way to do real custom work or to offer one-of-a-kind quilting services?  With the Art & Stitch software you can use your own designs, designs based on the theme of your customer's quilt, or digitize a sketch of your customer and use it on the quilt top and create art quilts.  Release your inner artist with the powerful, user friendly Art and Stitch program.

If purchased, you will receive two usage licenses for the companion Art & Stitch software which is pre-installed on your system. For the software to have full functionality it must be registered with the Art & Stitch Company. Handi Quilter does not offer support for the software.

For more information on Art and Stitch software, please visit http://www.artandstitch.com/overview.htm

I attended one of MK's two-day SIM workshops last summer and learned more from her training in two days than I had in the last ten years from my local dealer. For me, ProStitcher Simulation has opened up a whole new level of quilting.  I upgraded from an HQ16 to a Fotre (both with ProStitcher) from MK Quilts because of their personal ongoing training and service to their owners. MK keeps us posted on upgrades, new products and posts videos, so we can make informed decisions to buy in a non-pressured atmosphere. MK's personal support, live feeds, videos and tips have built my confidence and knowledge to take my quilting from an expensive hobby to a successful start-up quilting business. I feel like I am a part of a quilting family, who happens to be a happy customer!

MK and Paul are the same people in person as they are on their live feeds.  I have visited the studio, rented the online content, and attended a live class with MK. I have also had remote tech support on my laptop and had my machine serviced by Mr MK who is a Handi Quilter certified technician.  They demonstrate integrity in their business dealings and have an abundance of enthusiasm and energy with anything involving HQ and Pro-stitcher! Their customer service is exceptional as they go above and beyond to provide customer satisfaction!

I saved for years in preparation to purchase my own long arm.  I *thought* I knew exactly what I wanted.  After renting a few of MK's videos, I was in love with her personality.  NEWS FLASH!  She and Mr. MK are as kind and fun and full of personality in 'real' life as they are on their videos.   I reached out to them about purchasing my long-awaited machine.  After phone conversations, they provided me with an extremely fair price quote for what I *thought* I wanted, as well as what they called my 'Dream Quote'.  Long story short, there was no pressure involved, but I went with the 'Dream Quote' (it was just too good to pass up!) and am still thrilled and loving my purchase nearly a year and a half later.  They stayed in close contact with me though the whole purchasing process, keeping me updated with news from HQ about shipping, etc.  The process was seamless.  Their service and support are the best in the business.
